Hey There!
After spending a bit with the Carbide Software on my Nomad 3, I’ve managed to cut smoothly and precisely.
I primarily work and learn in SolidWorks. I’m aware that Fusion 360 supports the post processor, but does SolidWorks also have this feature? Is there a post processor available for the Nomad 3 in SolidWorks?
I won’t deny that Fusion 360 makes certain tasks much easier compared to SolidWorks. However, SolidWorks also has its strengths. It’s a give and take situation.
Additionally, is there a preset profile in either software to program the machine (Nomad 3) within SolidWorks or Fusion 360? I prefer to keep everything streamlined within the SolidWorks program since it’s widely used by firms and most mechanical engineers. Seem though I’ve been learning both programs (which I’m not opposed too).
I know I can just program the endmills and cuts without defining the machine.
Current processes that is currently envisioned is:
- Make design in SW
- Save as STEP file
- Open in F360
- Program
- Generat G-Code.
- Use Carbide software to start milling.
Best,
